Marry my elder sister? Fine! I'll give you the letter of annulment and marry someone else.

As the two women left, Xiaotao realized something.

She said with some sadness, "The women here are being played with by others, worse than pigs and dogs. What have they done wrong? Is it just because they were born as women by mistake?"

Song Zhi touched her head and said, "Don't be afraid, Miss, I will change everything."

"Ah."

Xiaotao nodded heavily.

Wang Biao's yard was quite large. After entering, he found that it was covered with blood and hung with torturous things.

The room on the left looks cleaner and tidier, probably where he sleeps.

Song Zhi asked the secret guards to search and found two boxes full of silver.

"Look, another windfall has fallen from the sky."

Song Zhi accepted the money with a smile, and his heavy mood finally eased a little.

At this time, the men who had gone back to call their female relatives also came back one after another. One of them even presented a map of Gouer Lane.

After opening the map, Song Zhi discovered that although this place was called an alley, it was not just one alley, but a large area extending in all directions from a main alley.

The place where she is now is one of the alleys extending out from it.

Unexpectedly, the development here is better than she imagined. If she could make use of it...

Song Zhi was thinking in his mind, his eyes falling on some of the female relatives who had already arrived.

Most of them were dressed in tattered clothes that barely covered their bodies, their eyes were numb and dim, as if they had become accustomed to the torture day after day.

When most of the people were present, Song Zhicai said to everyone, "I will only say this once, so please listen carefully."

"From today on, every household in this alley must live with mutual respect. Men will no longer be considered the boss. Men will no longer have the power to issue orders, and they will not be able to force women to do anything they don't want to do."

"Anyone who refuses to obey or submit will suffer the same fate as Wang Biao."

Her voice was not loud, but it was clear and powerful enough to reach everyone's ears.

It was like throwing a stone into a calm lake. Everyone was stunned by this unprecedented speech.

Their faces froze in an instant, their jaws almost dropped to the ground, their eyes filled with astonishment.

The scene fell into dead silence, and the air seemed to become heavy.

After a long while, a lame man stepped forward and said, "How can this be allowed? Women are just toys for sexual intercourse in bed. How can they be equal to men?"

He has a lame leg and is old. If he loses the dignity that his male identity brings him, how can he live a good life?

He had just gotten a beautiful woman two days ago and had only enjoyed her for two days, so how could he bear to let her go?

Yes, the women here are distributed like goods by the superiors to each family under their control, and sometimes they are rotated.

Song Zhi walked up to him slowly. Although she was a woman, she was still half a head taller than the other man.

She looked down at the old cripple, then shifted her gaze to a dirty young girl behind him and slapped him hard in the face.

"How old is she? Has she reached marriage age? How dare you do that to her?"

Song Zhi spoke with gritted teeth. After being slapped, the old cripple actually wanted to resist. He raised his crutch and wanted to hit Song Zhi, but was held down by the secret guards on both sides.

Song Zhi walked up to the girl and held a dagger in front of her.

"If you hate him, you can kill him."

The girl took a step back in panic, looking at the dagger and shaking her head in fear.

The old cripple laughed, "Don't waste your energy. Do you think you are the savior? Men are the most respected in this world, yet you dream of being on par with men. What are you dreaming of?"

After hearing this, the other men also showed expressions of agreement.

However, in the end, because they were shocked by the effortless killing of Wang Biao, they did not act rashly for a while.

The old cripple was still talking nonsense, but Song Zhi just stared at the girl in front of him.

"Don't worry, you can do what you want. I will be here to support you and make the decision for you."

The girl still shook her head in fear.

Song Zhi was not in a hurry. He squatted down and said softly, "Do you want to be controlled by this cripple forever? You are so old and your life has just begun. Why do you want to be locked up in the house and ruined?"

She pulled up her sleeves and, as expected, saw scars of varying sizes on her arms.

"If he hits you, you shouldn't just accept it. You should fight back and hit him back."

The old lame man beside him laughed even louder, "What nonsense are you talking about? Does she have the guts to come back?"

Song Zhi placed the dagger in his palm and said, "Now, you have a chance to kill him and get rid of him. Why don't you dare to go? I will be behind you. You just need to do what you want."

Seeing that he was merely being held up and suffered no substantial harm, the old cripple thought Song Zhi was afraid and said even more arrogantly:

"Get rid of me? She'll never be able to get rid of me in this lifetime. She still has to give birth to children for me. They don't need to be too many, just two boys and two girls. The boys will be used to carry on the family line, and the girls, of course, will be raised and divided among other families. I, a cripple, can't just enjoy the life without making any contribution, right?"

The other men laughed out loud when they heard this, and began to get excited.

At this moment, the girl screamed wildly as if stimulated by something. "No, I don't want it. I don't want my daughter to be like me. My mother tried her best to send me away, but failed."

She cried out heartbreakingly, "I know how she died. It was you!"

She pointed around and yelled at the top of her lungs, "You beasts didn't stop all night and made her die in bed."

The girl picked up the dagger with determination, "I want him to die! I want him to die! I don't want to be like my mother."

She looked at the old cripple with bloodshot eyes, and slowly moved towards him step by step.

The old cripple didn't expect the girl to actually hit him, and he immediately yelled with a sullen face: "Bitch, are you trying to rebel against the heavens?"

The girl was so frightened that she trembled all over. The fear that had been engraved in her bones for a long time made her inner fear reach the extreme.

She looked at Song Zhi and saw him looking at her encouragingly, "Go, I will be here to protect you."

As he spoke, he suddenly suggested jokingly, "Look at how energetic he is. Killing him would be a good thing for him. He always uses men as an excuse. Why don't you kill him and see if he can still yell like that?"

The girl looked at the old cripple's crotch with a determined look, then started walking again with a clear goal in mind.

The old cripple was so frightened that he almost peed himself. He forced himself to shout, "You...you dare!"

But the girl's firm steps told him that she really dared.

Coming in front of the old cripple, the girl raised the dagger in her hand.

The old cripple wanted to resist, but was held down and unable to move.

At this moment, he was finally scared.
